Codex for (almost) everything. It can now use apps on your Mac, connect to more of your tools, create images, learn from previous actions, remember how you like to work, and take on ongoing and repeatable tasks. [video]

computer use is broadly here & it's genuinely very cool, but it's worth flagging the structural asymmetry here where apple & google don't have to pipe everything through accessibility apis unlike app players. vertical integration lets them operate deeper in the stack like the co…

With codex computer use + mac's iPhone Mirror app, GPT can use any app on your phone!!! Seems less accurate with clicks vs actual mac desktop apps, but it does work! Whats the best app to use this with?! [video]

Lots of major improvements to Codex! Computer use is a real update for me; it feels even more useful than I expected. It can use all of the apps on your Mac, in parallel and without interfering with your direct work.

We are super excited to launch the in-app browser inside Codex with comment mode! View any web pages & iterate with your agent quickly with just point and click. Codex will automatically capture a screenshot, the DOM element, and feed it as precise context to your next [video]

The new Codex is another jump in what agents will look like for knowledge workers. Agents that can code, work with tools, and use computers, can begin to execute long running tasks in the background for all areas of work. This can mean drafting reports, setting up data rooms fo…

Congratulations @OpenAI on bringing Codex to more of the software workflow. 🎉 Codex is becoming a system for more of a developer's workflow, helping them move across tools, create richer outputs, adapt to how they work, and carry longer-running tasks forward.

This is the first time I've ever seen an LLM operate a GUI as fast as a person, and it's surreal. [video]

Background Computer Use Computer Use in Codex has some deep OS-level wizardry. Codex can see/click/type in apps in the background, without taking over your computer, and you can work in parallel. @AriX and team absolutely crushed here. Windows soon.

When we say for (almost) everything we mean it! All of these features have been game changers for me in the last days beyond just coding. I had automated threads keep an eye on my Slack, email, calendar, Google docs, and more for the launch and monitor PRs along the way. So [vide…

The real signal is in OpenAI's own framing: 3M weekly Codex users, and they claim nearly half of usage is already non-coding. Codex is being repositioned as a general work agent, not just a dev tool. „Workbench for real work, before, around, and after writing code. " This is a…
